1. Field of the Invention
The principles of the present invention are generally related to resistive memory arrays, and in particular, but not by way of limitation, to a device and method for configuring a resistive memory array, writing and reading from the resistive memory array, and producing the resistive memory array.
2. Description of Related Art
Resistive memory materials have recently been used to produce non-volatile memory cells. Data is stored in the memory cells by changing resistance of the resistive memory materials. Resistive memory materials may include colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) material, high temperature superconductivity (HTSC) materials, or other materials that have a perovskite structure capable of having electrical resistance characteristics altered by external influences. Such external influences may include applying positive and negative or reverse polarity voltages to the resistive memory materials to change the resistance characteristics thereof. The electric field strength or electric current density from one or more pulses is generally sufficient to switch the physical state of the resistive memory materials so as to modify the resistive properties. Alternatively, a pulse with the same polarity, but with different pulse widths, may be utilized to reverse the resistive property of the resistive memory materials previously set. Whichever technique is selected, in applying a pulse to the resistive memory materials, the pulse is to be low enough in energy so as not to destroy or damage the resistive material.
To improve size, speed, and efficiency of resistive memory arrays, the principles of the present invention provide for a 1T1R resistive memory array configured as chains of memory cells, where each memory cell is composed of a resistive element in parallel with a switch. Such a configuration is non-volatile and provides for each of the memory cells to be randomly accessed. One embodiment of the principles of the present invention includes an electronic memory including a plurality of memory cells, each memory cell includes a switch and a resistive memory element connected in parallel. The resistive memory element is capable of existing in one of a plurality of resistive states, where each resistive state represents a different data state. The electronic memory further includes a memory write and read circuit selectably coupled to the resistive memory element and capable of writing a data state to the resistive memory element and reading the data state.
Another embodiment includes a method of writing to an electronic memory including a plurality of memory cells, where each memory cell is composed of a resistive memory element. The method includes randomly accessing one of the resistive memory cells and writing data to the randomly accessed resistive memory cell without altering data in any other memory cell.
Yet another embodiment includes an electronic memory including a plurality of memory cells, where each memory cell is composed of a switch connected in parallel with a resistive memory element, a plurality of bit lines may form columns electrically coupling memory cells in series along the bit lines. The memory cells along at least two columns may have substantially the same spacing. A plurality of word lines may form forming rows and be coupled to the switches of the memory cells along the word lines. Circuitry may be coupled to the bit lines and word lines to write and read data to and from at least one memory cell.
Still yet, another embodiment may include an electronic memory cell, including a switch and a resistive memory element coupled in parallel.
Another embodiment may include a method for reading data from an electronic memory having memory cells arranged in rows of word lines and columns of bit lines, each bit line being connected to a column of memory cells having a switch in parallel with a resistive memory element and each word line being connected to switches in rows of the memory cells. The method may include applying a voltage level to all but one word line to turn on each of the switches of the corresponding memory cells, applying a voltage level to the one remaining word line to turn off the switch of the corresponding memory cell to access that memory cell, applying a voltage level to a first side of a bit line of the memory cell being accessed, and sensing the voltage level on the bit line on a second, opposite side of the memory cell being accessed.
An electronic system, including an electronic memory. The electronic memory may include a switch and a resistive memory element coupled in parallel. The system may further include a processor in communication with the memory to write data to and read data from the electronic memory. The electronic system may be a communication device, computing device, or other device that utilizes a memory for storing data.
Yet another embodiment may include a method of manufacturing an integrated circuit electronic memory. The method may include forming a plurality of transistors, forming an insulating layer above the transistors, depositing a resistive material on the insulating layer, etching the resistive material to form a resistive element associated with each of the transistors, etching the insulating layer between the resistive elements to form vias through to the active areas of the transistors, and depositing a conductor in the vias to connect said transistors to the resistive elements.
The principles of the present invention further provide for a substrate and transistor deposited on the substrate. An insulating layer may be disposed above the transistor. A resistive element may be disposed on the insulating layer above the transistor and at least two conductors may electrically connect the transistor in parallel with the resistive element.
A more complete understanding of the method and apparatus of the present invention may be obtained by reference to the following Detailed Description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying Drawings wherein:
The memory array 200 may be configured by forming series or chains of memory cells 202. As shown, the chains of memory cells 202 may be connected along bit lines BL1-BL4. Word lines WL1-WL4 may be connected to memory cells 202 via gate terminals of the switches along respective memory cells 202. Each bit line may have a select switch MB1-MB4 and sense switch MS1-MS4 connected thereto used to control access to memory cells 202 along the corresponding bit lines BL1-BL4. For example, to access a memory cell 202 having switch M11, select switch MB1 and control switch MS1 are selectably turned on. Below control switch MS1 may be a sense amplifier (see,
As previously described, the switches at the top and bottom of the bit lines BL1-BL4 are row/column select switches MB1-MB4 and sense switches MS1-MS4. The select switches MB1-MB4 and sense switches MS1-MS4 are used to select a certain bit and to separate the memory array 200 from external circuitry. For example, if memory cell 302 is to be selected, select switch MB2 and sense switch MS2 are turned on and the other select and sense switches are turned off. In addition, word line WL2 is grounded and each of the other word lines WL1, WL3-WL4 are turned high. By applying a low voltage onto word line WL2, switch M22 remains or is turned off so that current is forced through resistive element R22 connected in parallel to the switch M22. Because word lines WL1, WL3 and WL4 are high, each of the corresponding switches M12, M32, and M42, respectively, are turned on such that current flows through the switches and bypasses each of the resistive elements R12, R32, and R42, respectively connected in parallel. The process of being able to select one memory cell along a bit line enables random access writing and reading. While not writing to or reading from the memory array 200, select switches MB1-MB4 and sense switches MS1-MS4 may be turned off so that the memory array 200 is isolated from the external circuitry, thereby keeping electrical noise from the memory array 200. It should be understood that the memory array 200 is shown as a 4×4 chain array, and may be sized and dimensioned as desired, such as 128×128 or larger.
In operation, an external processor (see,
The particular systems, memory designs, and methods described herein are intended to illustrate the functionality and versatility of the invention, but the invention should not be construed to be limited to those particular embodiments. It is evident that those skilled in the art may make numerous uses and modifications of the specific embodiments described, or equivalent structures and processes may be substituted for the structures and processed described. For example, the memory is shown with the resistive elements and their associated transistors arranged in columns. The resistive elements may just as well have been arranged in rows. Thus, herein, the arrangement is referred to as a row/column arrangement. Since certain changes may be made in the above systems and methods without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all subject matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings may be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense, consequently, the invention is to be construed as embracing each and every novel feature and novel combination of features present or inherently possessed by the systems, devices, and methods described in the claims below and their equivalence.
